It is merely there to produce the prompt which people asked for. CONFIG_ATA_SD (or CONFIG_ATA_BLK_DEV_SD or whatever) won't turn up in any Makefile or source code. Note, I'm not fond of 'select' nor of dummy Kconfig variables. Plus I can personally live very well with the current solution (sd_mod et al are mentioned in the help text at CONFIG_ATA). That's why I posted only the example instead of a complete patch. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== =--= -=--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
